Resources

The University of Arizona Human Subjects Protection Program has a variety of resources to help investigators conduct compliant human participant research. Please note that references to Co-Principal Investigators were removed from the UA HSPP website and documents, therefore going forward, all such references should be interpreted as Co-Investigator (Co-I).

In addition, the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have issued guidance documents and other materials that reflect their agency's current thinking.
